Follow the money. The US is not buying anymore tanks right now. Without this contract to send tanks to Egypt, the Abrams Tank Plant in Lima (OH) would virtually shut down. As well as all of their suppliers. If the Lima tank plant and all of their suppliers went out of business then the US would loose this industrial base. Maybe forever. It would be very, very expensive to rebuild it. And don’t forget, Egypt will buy tanks even if they have to buy Russian tanks.
...so, your point is that it would be ok to send Abrams to.... I don’t know.... Al Qaeda... so long as that factory is open?
I’m not impressed. You got anything else?
